I don’t think that sneaking should really be accompanied by yelling at your party not to follow. But I always do, because I am terrible at sneaking.

At Basic, they gave me the “light” machine gun and radio, and told me to sneak up to the target. This is about what it sounded like: https://youtu.be/PrQQZuLru9s?t=32s

Hey, why aren’t the arrows on fire? All fantasy arrows have to be on fire, if you believe movies.

The best moment in movie battle history was in “Timeline”. The enemy *doesn’t* set their arrows on fire! The use of these “Night Arrows” is clearly cheating, and everyone is offended!

This is why *I* drive places. I’m so used to driving that I get car-sick as a passenger . I think something and the car doesn’t do it, it hurts. Also, most of my friends don’t drive at all, so I am the only choice for pilot.

That map is my attempt to draw the Kingdom of Ealdormere in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Vindalf’s world is highly inconsistent being both medieval-fantasy and modern. The geography tends to change based on what I can draw.

Next issue is #200, and a special guest comic from @lledra. Make sure to follow and enable notifications to see that!

That puts us half way through my reserves. I really should start working on new ones…

And yes, I see the typo, but I’m not about to fix it after 12 years. It’s traditional now.

So, it turns out that attacking a bunch of Jedi is a bad idea. Especially if you’re a team of three idiots armed with cheap laser swords and no reconnaissance.

On one side, I just heard Darth-tagnan shouting “Avenge me!” as he went down. Our other companion was not to be seen, but his girlfriend (now wife) was telling him to just stay down.

Luckally, I had a plan. I bought a few gallons of the legendary Pennsic chocolate milk right before our raid on the Kingdom of Lochac. It was enough to ransom our freedom.

They did make us eat some Vegemite to learn our lesson. 😛

Samuel L Jackson when, playing Mace Windu, wanted a purple lightsaber. Fans have spent ages trying to ascribe meaning to the colours of the sabres and what does it mean to have only one purple?

It means you can instantly see Mr. Jackson in any of the wide shots when his weapon is lit.

So, way back in issue 183, I recalled the time at Pennsic when we failed to storm a cool pirate ship. Later that next day, one of our friends was telling a story about the bunch of Jedi who took the coll pirate ship. Apparently, there was another group who managed to get their hands on lightsabers. So we decided to raid them, because like how many laser swords could there be in a medieval war?

Arwen’s return would be a much bigger thing if I hadn’t cut her from the re-issue. Her original appearance just wasn’t that funny years later. In short, they met last war, were a thing for like two issues and then she left to join the Navy. Now she’s in colour and everything!

So there we were at Pennsic many moons ago, a conglomerate of Vikings and pirates, inexplicably armed with laser swords, wandering around when we come upon a ship! Someone had an awesome camp gate that looked like a pirate ship. So we begin the raid and the defenders respond with rum. They trade Darth-tagnan’s sword for a bottle of good rum. The still believes it was a good trade. I’m not sure what happened to our other companion, but in the end, we had no ship and fewer swords.

Later, we found out that another camp armed with lightsabers did manage to raid the ship. That comes up again later.
